Rearwin Skyranger Aircraft history performance and specifications

The Skyranger was certified in 1940 and was built
with a variety of Continental ( & Franklin ) opposed engines, ( from
65 hp ) up to the 85HP version. ( About 85 [copies] by 1941. )

When WW II ended, Rearwin became "Commonwealth" and continued
production of the Skyranger. But by November of 1946, production of
the Skyranger stopped due to market pressures. Thus ending the age of
the Rearwin.
